Mitch McConell says the quiet part out loud.
Exact full quote from CNN:
“People think, increasingly it appears, that we shouldn’t be doing this. Well, let me start by saying we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” McConnell said. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons. So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

You know sovereignty isn't real, right? Like it's just not? Countries invade whoever they want whenever they think they can get away with it? Most of Europe just went in to Iraq illegally and murdered a million people? Ukraine sent a lot of troops on that adventure. The US just kills people and topples governments all over? France controls colonial possessions in Africa? Canada de-facto runs a bunch of African territory through it's ruthless resource extraction firms? South Korea and Okinawa are under US military occupation? North Korea only remains Sovereign because they can make Seoul glow in the dark if the US tries something? The west uses ruthless monetary manipulation, dumping of consumer goods and food, outright piracy and theft, to control other countries?
This isn't model UN.
And it's time to stop the invading shit
Okay, and? Like... that's... a nice sentiment, but that's all it is.
Yeah and? That's what we can do on this platform. Comment on things
Putin isn't going to end the invasion because some people from some obscure Reddit clone said so.
Exactly
So then we agree, America must be defanged at all costs
Somewhat true (all costs is a troublesome term), but also disregards the rest of the issue
It really doesn't. American aggression is found around every corner if you look at thr history and impetus behind this conflict.
True
Ehhh
Kinda like this excuse back in the day
You're not making any sense. Unless you think that NATO encirclement, the Maidan coup, etc, are all Russian false flags?
Nope.
Instead Russia basically forced multiple countries to join a war crime organization so they have even some safety
... NATO has illegally invaded and destroyed numerous countries. Russia has invaded Georgia when Georgia tried to join NATO as part of NATO's encirclement.
Yes?
